## Pricing

from $1.40 / 1,000 jobs

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Wellfound Jobs Scraper

**Scrape startup jobs from Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) by role, city or remote.** Get title, startup, salary as numbers, equity, job type, remote policy, years of experience, the startup's stage, size, pitch and badges, the full description and the job link. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API. **$2 per 1,000 jobs, no start fee.**

Scrape jobs from **Wellfound**, the job site of startups, the way you browse it: a role such as `software engineer` or `product manager`, a city or country such as `New York`, `London` or `India`, or remote jobs only. Each job comes with the **salary as numbers** and the **equity** in percent, as most Wellfound jobs state both, the **remote policy** with the countries a remote job accepts, and the **startup's stage** (such as Early Stage or Growth Stage), size, one-line pitch and Wellfound badges such as "Top Investors" or "Responds within two weeks". The full description comes with every job, without opening job pages, so runs are fast. Run it on a schedule to get **only new jobs**. No browser, no login.

### What can this Wellfound scraper do?

- 🔎 **Browse like on the website**: roles such as `data scientist` or `account executive`, in a city or country, or remote. Or paste Wellfound job page links such as `https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york`.
- 💰 **Salary and equity**: `$150k – $250k • 0.25% – 0.5%` becomes `{ "min": 150000, "max": 250000, "currency": "USD", "interval": "year" }` and `{ "min": 0.25, "max": 0.5 }`. Dollars, euros, pounds, rupees (lakhs included) and other currencies.
- 🚀 **Startup details**: stage, size, one-line pitch, logo, the startup's Wellfound page and its badges, such as "Actively Hiring", "Top Investors" or "Growing fast".
- 🏠 **Remote policy**: remote, onsite, or onsite or remote, whether working from home is possible, and the countries a remote job accepts.
- 🎛️ **Filters**: job type (full-time, contract, internship, co-founder) and date posted.
- 🆕 **Only new jobs since the last run**: for job alerts, recruiting pipelines and startup tracking.
- 🧩 **Same output as our other job scrapers**, listed at the end of this page, so Wellfound jobs, other job boards and company career sites fit into one table.

### How to scrape Wellfound jobs

1. Enter **roles**, one search per line, for example `software engineer`. Or paste links of Wellfound job pages.
2. Enter a **location** such as `New York`, `London` or `India`, or turn on **Remote jobs only**.
3. Optionally choose **job types** or a **date range**.
4. Click **Start**. Download the jobs as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or get them through the API.

A step-by-step guide with Python examples for our job scrapers: [How to Scrape Job Postings from LinkedIn and 12 More Job Sites in One Format](https://medium.com/@robertkhairislamov/how-to-scrape-job-postings-from-linkedin-and-12-more-job-sites-in-one-format-935bb79ba2d2).

#### Example input

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["data scientist", "machine learning engineer"],
  "location": "San Francisco",
  "jobTypes": ["full-time"],
  "postedWithinDays": 30
}
```

Remote jobs only: `{ "searchQueries": ["product manager"], "remoteOnly": true }`. Every job in a place: `{ "location": "Berlin" }`. Job types are `full-time`, `contract`, `internship` and `cofounder`; in the form you simply pick them from a list.

### Use cases

- **Job seekers**: every new startup job for your role each morning, with the salary, the equity and the startup's stage.
- **Recruiters and talent agencies**: see which startups hire for which roles, and how much they pay.
- **Investors and startup research**: hiring by stage and size shows which startups are growing and what they build.
- **Sales and lead generation**: startups that hire are growing and buying. Stage, size and pitch help to qualify them.
- **Salary and equity research**: compare pay and equity by role, city, stage and remote policy.
- **AI agents**: give an agent one tool that searches startup jobs.

### How much does it cost?

You pay only for the jobs you get: **$2 per 1,000 jobs**. That is the price on the Apify Free plan. Paid Apify plans pay less: $1.80 per 1,000 jobs on Starter, $1.60 on Scale and $1.40 on Business, which is the "from" price shown in Apify Store. There is no start fee. The same job found by two searches is saved once, and you do not pay for duplicates or for jobs filtered out by your settings. The Apify free plan covers about 2,500 jobs every month.

### Tips

- **Daily job alerts**: save your input as a task, turn on **Only new jobs since the last run** and add a schedule. Send new jobs to Slack, email or Google Sheets with Apify integrations.
- **More jobs per startup**: Wellfound's job pages show up to three jobs per startup for each role. Search related roles too, such as `backend engineer` and `full stack engineer` next to `software engineer`, to see more of a startup's openings.
- **Jobs with equity only**: filter the results on `equity`, or sort by `equity.max` in Excel.
- **Errors per search**: see the `SUMMARY` record in the run's key-value store.

### FAQ

**Why not just ask an AI chatbot?** A chatbot with web search reads a few pages and retells them, so it finds a handful of jobs. In our test in October 2026, a chatbot asked for every nurse and dental assistant job in Adelaide listed about 10; our [All-in-One Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/robertosan16/all-in-one-jobs-scraper), which shares this Actor's code, returned 1,480 from SEEK, Indeed, Glassdoor and LinkedIn in three minutes, each with its link and date. This Actor gives you every job the site shows for your search, word for word and in the same fields every time, so you can load them into a spreadsheet, database or CRM, get only new jobs on a schedule, and pay a fixed price per 1,000 jobs instead of paying an AI to read every page. AI agents use it the same way: through Apify's MCP server, an agent can call this Actor whenever it needs real job data.

**Why do I get fewer jobs than Wellfound's count?** Wellfound counts every matching job, but its job pages show up to three jobs per startup. A startup hiring five software engineers in New York shows three of them, and this Actor reads what the pages show. In a test, `software engineer` in New York returned 516 of the 753 jobs Wellfound counts.

**Which roles and places can I search?** The ones Wellfound has job pages for: its job titles, such as `software engineer`, `data scientist`, `product designer`, `account executive` or `marketing manager`, and cities and countries, such as `San Francisco`, `New York`, `London`, `Bangalore`, `United States` or `India`. If Wellfound has no page for a role or place, the run says which one, instead of returning jobs you did not ask for.

**Does it collect recruiter or founder contact details?** No. There are no fields for people's names, emails or phone numbers.

**Is it legal to scrape Wellfound?** The Actor reads the public job pages Wellfound shows to every visitor, without logging in. Check the terms that apply to your use case. This Actor is not affiliated with Wellfound.

### Integrations and API

- **Google Sheets, Slack, email and CRMs**: connect the Actor to Make, Zapier or n8n, or use the **Integrations** tab of this Actor. With **Only new jobs since the last run** and a schedule, each run sends only the new jobs.
- **Webhooks**: call your own URL when a run finishes, for example to load the new jobs into your database.
- **AI agents (MCP)**: add `https://mcp.apify.com?tools=robertosan16/wellfound-jobs-scraper` as an MCP server in Claude, Cursor or VS Code, and your agent can search jobs with this Actor. Tell it how many jobs you need, so it sets **Maximum jobs in total**.
- **LangChain and LlamaIndex**: load the jobs into your LLM app with the Apify loaders.
- **API**: one request runs the Actor and returns the jobs, for runs of up to 5 minutes. Start longer runs with the `runs` endpoint and read the dataset when they finish.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/robertosan16~wellfound-jobs-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["software engineer"],"location":"San Francisco","maxItems":20}'
```

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Job titles as Wellfound names its job pages, for example <code>software engineer</code>, <code>data scientist</code>, <code>product manager</code>, <code>account executive</code> or <code>growth marketer</code>. Each line is a separate search. You can also paste Wellfound links such as <code>https://wellfound.com/role/l/software-engineer/new-york</code>. Leave empty to list every job of the location or every remote job.

## `location` (type: `string`):

A city or country as Wellfound names it, for example <code>New York</code>, <code>San Francisco</code>, <code>London</code>, <code>Bangalore</code>, <code>United States</code> or <code>India</code>. Leave empty for every place.

## `remoteOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Search Wellfound's remote jobs instead of a location.

## `jobTypes` (type: `array`):

Leave empty for all.

## `postedWithinDays` (type: `integer`):

Keep jobs posted in the last N days: 1 means today and yesterday. Leave empty or 0 for any date.

## `excludeKeywords` (type: `array`):

Skip jobs whose title contains any of these, for example <code>intern</code> or <code>senior</code>. Common word endings are included.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

Keep only jobs whose title contains any of these words or phrases. Wellfound searches descriptions too, so this makes results stricter. Add <code>*</code> for any ending: <code>data*</code>.

## `onlyWithSalary` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only jobs that state a pay range or rate.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

For scheduled runs: save only jobs that were not seen in earlier runs of the same saved task. The first run saves all current jobs and remembers them. Jobs that did not match your filters are remembered too.

## `includeDescription` (type: `boolean`):

Save the full description of each job. Turn off for smaller results with every other field.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after saving this many jobs. Leave empty or 0 for no limit. The example is kept small so the first run takes seconds.

## `maxItemsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Save at most this many jobs from each search. Leave empty or 0 for no limit.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

The Actor connects directly, which is fastest. If Wellfound starts limiting requests, it switches to Apify Proxy automatically. Turn on a proxy here only to use it from the start.

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
